Best documentation for the details?
The thing about the Game Boy (or most consoles, really, but especially the Game Boy since it uses a custom CPU) is that we don't know all the details. People have had to reverse engineer it to figure stuff out. /u/gekkio is one of the people doing that work, and his technical reference and test suite are the (ongoing) results of that.
